Description

Brake Pad Replacement Guide — Featuring TRW
> Your brake pads are what stop your Volvo V70, Ford S-Max, or similar vehicle. They work by squeezing against the rotors. Over time, all that friction wears them down, and your braking won't be as good as it should be. Replacing them is a no-brainer for safety.
Symptoms That Led You Here
• Squealing or grinding when you hit the brakes
• Brakes not as sharp as they used to be
• The brake pedal feels soft
• You can see the pads are worn or damaged
• The brake light's on
Will it pass WOF?
Dodgy brake pads are a surefire way to fail a WOF here in New Zealand. Officially, they need to be above 2mm thick, but it's best to get them sorted before they get that thin. Safety first!
DIY or Workshop?
Difficulty: 6/10
Estimated Time: 2-4 hours (depending on experience)
Tools Required: Jack, jack stands, wrench set, socket set, brake cleaner, brake pad spreader, torque wrench.
🛠️ Bob's "Get It Done Right" Companion Checklist
Before you get cracking on those brake pads, here's a quick rundown to keep things safe and tidy:
• Safety Glasses: Keep those peepers protected from brake dust and grime. No one wants a trip to the eye doctor!
• Nitrile Gloves: Brake cleaner and old brake dust aren't exactly kind to your skin. A good set of Nitrile Gloves will keep your hands clean and protected.
• Brake Cleaner: Blast away all that nasty brake dust and grime with a can of Brake Cleaner. Makes the job much cleaner and helps you spot any issues.
• Caliper Grease: A little Caliper Grease on the right spots will keep everything moving smoothly and prevent annoying squeaks.

Expert Recommendation
Worn brake pads are a real safety risk for your Volvo or Ford. New pads mean better braking and can stop other parts from getting damaged. Bob @ CARFIX is always ready to help you find the perfect pads for your Volvo or Ford. Pop into Bob's Shop for a yarn!
Fitment Notes
Double-check these pads fit your exact Volvo or Ford model and braking system. Have a look at your service manual or ask a mechanic to be sure. Different models might need different pads depending on the year and spec. Remember, never get under a car supported only by a jack! Bob's the man to see for the right advice.

🛠️ Bob's Pro Tip: Do the Job Right!
> If you're swapping out these parts on your vehicle, don't skimp on fresh rotors. Check out our compatible TRW Disc Brake Rotors (Part No. DF4766S) to ensure a perfect bed-in and get the job done properly first time!

🧰 What Else You'll Need:
• Safety First: Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Always secure it on heavy-duty safety jack stands.
• Brake Dust Protection: Brakes get incredibly dirty. Keep a pack of Nitrile Gloves handy to protect your hands from stubborn brake dust.
• Clean and Prep: Use a high-quality Brake Cleaner spray to blast away stubborn dust, oil, and road grime from the caliper assembly and new rotors before reassembly.
• Lubrication: Apply a thin smear of high-temperature caliper grease to the pad backing plates and slide pins (keep it off the pad friction material!) to prevent squeals and ensure smooth caliper operation.
